“My family and I have been very pleased by the success the franchise has sustained over the last four seasons under coach Reid,” Hunt said. “He has already established himself as one of the best coaches in the league, and he is well on his way to solidifying a place among the all-time greats.

“We are proud to have him leading our football team, and I look forward to working with him to bring a championship to Chiefs Kingdom.”

Reid made a statement as well, thanking the organization and Kansas City.

“I’d like to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for the opportunity to continue my coaching career here in Kansas City,” Reid said. “We’ve made quite a bit of progress over the last four seasons, but we are not done yet. We are going to continue to work towards our ultimate goal of winning championships.

“I’ve been blessed by the support of the community, our fans, the Hunt family and the entire Chiefs staff. I’m looking forward to the years ahead as the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.”

Reid, 59, is entering his 19th season as a head coach in the NFL. He coached the Philadelphia Eagles for 14 seasons, appearing in five NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl. Reid has spent the past four seasons coaching the Chiefs, taking them to the playoffs three times.

Reid has a combined record of 173-114-1 with only three losing seasons. His 173 wins are the 12th-most in NFL history.
